Thieves drove off in the band’s blue Ford Transit van after pushing a hook and cane-type implement through the letterbox of the Levenshulme home of guitarist Adam Gorman to steal the keys.

The band members have now offered a £1,000 reward to anyone who has information about the whereabouts of the van and equipment.

The incident happened at between 11.30pm on Tuesday, December 9 and 5.30am the next day.

Once inside the house, the offenders ransacked the rooms downstairs and stole an iMac, Xbox, flat screen television and other personal items. They swiped the van’s keys, loaded the vehicle and drove off.
